5 Vegas Miami 55
 
Just had my first one tonight. Not the blast of pepper you would expect from a Pepin made stick. Very even, medium bodied, and woodsy like I enjoy. A little more ligero would make this perfect.

I agree, it could use some spice. But all in all a fine smoke.:ss

I've also enjoyed the couple that I've had.

I had my first one the other night, courtesy of BlackIrish. Bit too strong for my tastes. Nicely made though. If it fits your taste profile they will be a winner.

I read mixed reviews on the knuckles, but i went ahead and got a 5er. I was not dissapointed. For what you pay for them, i thought they were pretty good. I gave one to my buddy and he liked it as well. Im no expert of course, and i wish i could give you some insight on what it tasted like but i am at the point where either i like a cigar or i dont.

I liked the one I smoked this weekend. Your description pretty much described my experience as well.

I guess the only problem i have had with them is the burn, other than that i like the flavor profile. i smoked one after i got off work today just to check them out again.

Keep Pepin made cigars around 60-64% rh and no more burn problems. :tu Pepin actually recommends this.
